INTERVIEWS
March 24, 2008
Tricia Helfer, Jamie Bamber, Katee Sackhoff and David Eick discuss the beginning of the end of Battlestar Galactica
By Ian Spelling
Battlestar Galactica will end its glorious, award-laden four-year run sometime in 2009, and SCI FI Channel will kick off the first half of the show's final season on April 4 with the season opener, "He That Believeth in Me." The entire cast and executive producers David Eick and Ronald D. Moore were on hand on March 18 in New York City for SCI FI Channel's 2008 upfront presentation to advertisers, and SCI FI Weekly was there, too.
The following is the first in a two-part series of interviews, and here Eick, Tricia Helfer, Jamie Bamber and Katee Sackhoff preview season four, discuss what they'd like to see for the show and their respective characters as the show winds down and look to the future, a future without Battlestar Galactica. In the next installment, expect to hear from Moore, Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell.
A brief excerpt:
Q: Jamie Bamber, how excited are you to get back on set and finish what you started with the original Battlestar Galactica miniseries?
Bamber: "I have only read one of the final nine scripts, so I'm just aching to find out what happens in this story. It's like this big book you've been reading for five years and finally we get to the end in the last few pages. So, yeah, it's very exciting."
Q: What can you tell us about the direction of season four?
Bamber: "Based on what we've already shot, you're going to see these new Cylons who've discovered they're Cylons trying to figure out what the hell they're doing and why they are where they are and what's going on. That's kind of a microcosm for what everyone is doing, basically trying to figure what they hell they're doing alive, breathing, wandering through space. It's pretty riveting space.
There's no fluff. There's no stand-alone episodes. It's one big, tight arc. No fat, all muscle. All sinew and great storytelling."
